Do you see me?
When I wear my pain on the outside
In bright colors that beg and scream for your attention

Do you hear me?
When my demons call out your name?
Begging to be exorcised so freed so they can touch you

Do you smell me?
When I douse myself in the putrid smell of misery
And plead with you to wash away my fears

Can you feel me?
Lingering on your skin
Hoping to warm myself on the fires I started to within you

Can you taste me on your lips?
Do you relish the bitter-sweet aftertaste I left on your tongue
When I tried to **** the life out of you
To make you as empty as I am
